A look at the best highlights from this Sunday's chart.

1. It's all about the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' soundtrack.
It's due to be one of the hottest films EVER and the soundtrack isn't too shabby either. Sia's 'Elastic Heart', The Weeknd's 'Earned It' and Ellie Goulding's 'Love Me Like You Do' all charted this Sunday.

2. We had a total of SIX new entries (and they were all AMAZING).
Charli XCX & Rita Ora's 'Doing It' was released at midnight and made it all the way to No.7 by lockdown. Other new entries included Ne-Yo's 'Coming With You' and Chris Brown & Tyga's 'Ayo'.
-
3. The return of John Legend's 'All Of Me'.
The power ballad of 2014 re-entered out chart at No.32. It has now spent a collective 47 WEEKS in the Big Top 40. Only 5 weeks and that is an entire YEAR.
